Fixed New longer imgur album links do not display correctly. Code fix inside.

Imgur has changed the ID length of album links, apparently. Now they're not 5 characters anymore, or at least sometimes they are not.

I'm pretty new to Xenforo but I found the bbcode helper for Imgur in src/XF/BbCode/Helper/Imgur.php

The code checks for album links just by seeing if the ID is 5 characters. The below code I changed it to do a string search for the imgur.com/a/ section that the album links seem to always contain. There may be more eloquent solutions, but this one was a quick fix.

PHP: 
public static function matchCallback($url, $matchedId, \XF\Entity\BbCodeMediaSite $site, $siteId)
{
        // if (strlen($matchedId) == 5) // XXX: Xenforo 2.0.4 version
        // hack 2018-04-20 fix new longer imgur links
        if (strpos($url, 'imgur.com/a/'))
                {
                        $matchedId = 'a/' . $matchedId;
                }

                return $matchedId;
}

Thanks. The eventual fix was slightly different and we've now added support for Imgur's "reddit" links (for sub-reddit image hosting on Imgur).

Awesome, glad I could help. Is there a place where I can see the final solution? Then I can update mine xenforo install to match it.


Also.. I found another imgur link format that isn't working. I'll look into it as well, but maybe you might know the best way to address it.

Ah yeah, I'm one of 3 guys who run another site and one of the other guys is registered as the licensed Xenforo person :) I'll see if he can add me.

Thanks for getting the fix rolled out :) Looks great. I updated my code for the gallery link too.
